CERB Rock 03:35
It's getting hard to enjoy All the things I did back when I was employed And every week I wait for a call From my boss to tell me that there's work for me in the fall Two checks a month from the man upstairs Keeping me fed in my underwear Anticipate the day Dan Belanger Calls to say that he needs me first thing on Monday It's been a while and now my wallet's light I wish I had the means to try to put up a fight And now I wait for all of this to end Knowing full well I'm giving up all of my weekends I can't wait to walk through that door Five days a week Gratification and more I can't want to make my muscles sore I just want to go back to my job It's been a while and now I fear The day will come when I run out of beer It's not enough for me, I might go broke If I don't limit the way I purchase whiskey and coke With all this time you think my house would be clean It'd probably be if I could just go back to my routine I do my best but I get annoyed At the things I can't afford when I'm unemployed

Ur Mean(s) 02:31
The longest days make for shorter years All these hours will grind my gears We've made some cash now we have demands Let's get a house, acquire land You can't buy happiness but we still can seize the day You say "it's not like that' you'll still be here either way I know the truth behind it, you don't want me for my jeans But that's okay, I wouldn't mind it if you just lived within your means Things are getting old, our stuff's a mess We picked one out, it seemed the best Buy outright or rent to own Who gives a fuck, I want the newest phone You can't buy happiness this will maybe have to do I know it's a lot right now but I think we'll make it through I know the truth behind it, you don't want me for my jeans But that's okay, I wouldn't mind it if you just lived within your means

My friend James He wants a conservatives girl But it's too bad they all think he's gay Maybe it's his shirt Or maybe it's the shorts None of us can really say My friend James He tried his luck with scene girls But they assume that he's alt-right Maybe it's his friends Or maybe it's his views Either way they're out of sight My friend James He just wants a really nice girl But there's something in his way Maybe it's his views Or maybe it's his friends None of us can really say I think he'll figure it out one day
4.
I got myself in trouble I had a little run-in with the law A single phone call's all I need Call my attorney tell him what I saw But he's got bad news for me He says there's been a discrepancy Although he'd love to help Criminal defense is not his specialty With Gordon at Law, I thought I had it made Endless access to legal aid But he won't get me out of jail He doesn't think that I can post the bail Yeah he's got bad news for me He says there's been a discrepancy Although he'd love to help A case like this his outside his expertise Time and time again I witness apprehension I get no time-of-day or even consultation Administrative law is what he does career and passion Gordon at Law You can't ignore all our history That we've been friends since we were thirteen

3-Car Garage 05:22
I want a real big house in a nice neighbourhood I want a swimming pool and a tennis court Three car garage and six foot hedge for my privacy Neighbours won't complain when I'm smoking bowls outside I want a real nice car that goes really fast I don't care about fuel economy With a sunroof or maybe a convertible All the things that I'd buy if I only had a bit more time in the day I want a fancy boat, take my buds on the lake I want surround sound in my home theatre A private gym and a guest house for my friends and family All the things that I'd buy if I only had a bit more time in the day
6.
I know this girl with short green hair She really rocks out when I see her at the shows But I don't think that she is my type She's got this dog and he is my friend But she feeds him vegan food She looked at my funny when I bought her a drink Every time she talks to me she mentions anarchy I can never get a date with her cuz she's always rallying Sometimes I think that her and I are meant to be But she's angry at the world She's not the one for me I can talk to her for hours Yeah she really turns me on But I don't like B.O. and patchouli She keeps up for toke for toke But she tells me that I drink too much When I held open her door yeah she told me to fuck off
7.
Let's have a drink and forget about it The world sucks, what can we do about it? Fuck being sad, let's get on with our lives So much on your mind today War and poverty, what will the government say? Well I think it might all be a crock of shit We've got school, work and families Taxes, loans and financial insecurities Sometimes too much is too much
8.
Another quiet night in a tranquil part of town Patrolling squad cars on behalf of the crown Front door open, lawn furniture on the ground Maximum thirty clicks, no riff raff to be found Authority watches over me Securing the greater good of the commonwealth You lost your child now the cops they are your friends A few bad apples and it might seem like a trend Most cops just do their job, they'll arrest if you offend If you get out of jail, don't go back again Two hands on the wheel not staring at your phone Too many beers yeah you don't go on the road Just smoked a joint you should probably stay at home Seems unlikely to catch a bullet in the dome Authority watches over me Watches over you You lost your child now the cops they are your friends Too many bad apples and it might seem like a trend Most cops just do their job, they'll arrest if you offend If you get out of jail, don't go back again Oh yeah

Selling Out 02:11
Some of our fans say we're not what we used to be They say we've changed but we always knew success was key That's why we've made a choice that we stand by Be a band most can identify Selling out Front page of the magazine Selling out Backstage documentary Selling out Successful in the industry Selling out Sounds just fine by me And when we're there we'll still be the same old band Some disagree but we decide on where we stand That's why we're going to diversify Be a band most can identify

Occupado 03:04
Mom says that I shouldn't trust the government As if I got no clue who pays her rent She says I should go out and have some fun But time for play is when the job is done No one understand I'm about my education One of the days I'll have a better paying occupation Dad says son sit down let's have a beer But putting on his shoes is my worst fear He says I should find myself a girlfriend But I know I will strike gold in the end
11.
Do It Right 01:23
Gotta do it right Clean your house Mow your lawn Have a sense of pride Go to work Pay your tax This isn't a free ride Move forward Not back Have your goals in mind Break your back Save your dough You can still enjoy your life
12.
So what if I'm an alcoholic? I pay my bills on time and I live an honest life So what if I smoke too much chronic? I buy it legally, you know I get the job done right Some say that there's equity in always staying true Life's no charity, my time is precious too So what if I drink gin and tonic I tip my servers well yeah they know me all by name So what if I like my narcotics I'm never driving high, I'm always trying to play safe
13.
Not Get Laid 01:56
I don't want to get laid I just want to get paid Cuz at the end of the day I'll be paving my own way Leisure is not the life for me College tuition isn't free You can't let chances pass you by before you die Go go go I gotta get to work on time Go go go To earn myself another dime When you get down to it Success comes bit by bit Just do your best to win And you might be next of kin I just want to make cash But not spend it all on hash I don't care about honeys I just want to make money
14.
Go out and vote That's all she wrote Democracy is not an atrocity It's more than just a philosophy It's your way against bureaucracy For the sake of humanity Autocracy is our worst enemy We can grow in solidarity You must maximize your opportunity For the sake of your community
